looks good, but you should have removed the balancing weights, cause if you ever get new tires and they re-balance your wheels, they will move them and it will be silver underneith

They look kinda blotchy. Could have used one more smooth coat of paint and just wanted to let you know that the primer was useless. Rule of thumb is never prime unless you go to bare metal. Color looks nice on the car though.

The blotchy ones are the first two i did which were partially outdoors so the wind messed it up a lil bit and got some dust on it.
After that I did the other two inside the garage and they came out mint
As for painting the caliper i wasnt even planning on doing that but i was waiting for the wheels to dry and was bored so i threw on a coat of paint

I actually just used regualr Home Depot paint
I think the color was called Antique Brass
It came out the same color as the cap
ANd the Clear coat made it have a nice shine to it
